Jeremy Clarkson Suspended

[Graudian]

Just announced on Sky that Clarkson has been suspended by
the BBC following a fracas with a producer.

[Peter Pedant]

banana skin alert - the priddy lady who was up for a fight was Mrs Miliband wading in on Ed's behalf.
and yes someone HAD pressed the wrong button
it was about a completely different story....

Never fear, Top Gear will still be on tv on Sunday.

You can throw in a motorcycle as well - i'm not prejudice

[tonyav]

Doh, I read would not as would. Must get to spec savers.

[Baldric]

Why would Top Gear test a Bike?

[Jomlett]

Gary Lineker is/was supposed to be the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car on Sunday....

[Bazile]

Does anyone remember the demolition review job that he did on a car some years ago ? - i think it was the Ford Sierra , when it first came out .

He had about four minutes to do the review and was finished after about 30 seconds .
He then started looking at his watch to see if the time was up

[tonyav]

I remember rightly, Bazile the car was the Vauxhall Vectra when they first came out.

[tonyav]

It was the Vectra.

I guess Top Gear will be replaced by "The Muppets" this Sunday, then.

[Bazile]

my mistake tonyav

Probably helped sales of the vectra - lol

[Bazile]

ok my description of the review was a bit different - but you see what i meant about his enthusiasm

[Baldric]

Had a Vectra as a Courtesy Car a few years back, as luck would have it they had my car ready to go on the day I was planning to open my wrists out of sheer boredom!

[tonyav]

No matter, Bazille. I could have been a Sierra ( both rep mobiles ) except for the Cossie of course.

it will raise the intellectual standard of that time slot

[Baldric]

Oh NO, not a blank screen PP?

[Baldric]
